đ Troubleshooting & Pro Tips
đč Why is my dough too wet or sticky?
Thatâs completely normal! No-knead dough is much wetter than traditional dough. If itâs TOO liquidy, your flour might be lower in proteinâjust add a tablespoon of flour at a time until itâs manageable.
đč Can I let the dough rise overnight?
Absolutely! An overnight rest in the fridge (8-12 hours) enhances flavor and makes an even crispier crust.
đč How do I make the crust extra crunchy?
Bake uncovered for the last 5 minutes or add a small oven-safe dish with water inside your oven to create steam.
đ Variations to Try
â Whole Wheat Version â Swap half the flour for whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste.
â Garlic & Herb Twist â Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder and chopped rosemary for a flavorful kick.
â Cheesy Delight â Mix in œ cup shredded cheese for a rich, savory bread.
